Mark and Greta once again bring their guitars/vocals/uke show to a house concert in Wenatchee, in center of the state of Washington. The concert is at 7:00 p.m. with two sets. The hosts and audience are great. We’re looking forward to it! Get tickets early, since this house concert sells out quickly!

Acoustic Guitar Summit — Mark Hanson, Terry Robb & Doug Smith — bring their scintillating ensemble and solo fingerstyle guitar creations to Artichoke Music for a concert largely of their unique takes on holiday music — like the funky “Good King Wenceslas is One Badass” and “Santa Claus Owes Me Money.” Includes beautiful arrangements of Vince Guaraldi’s “Peanuts”, Tchaikovsky’s “Nutcracker” and Danny Elfmann’s “What’s This?!?” from “The Nightmare Before Christmas.” Great fun!

To quote my West Linn (Oregon) friend, classical guitarist/educator Peter Zisa: “History reminds us that many of the world’s greatest thinkers—Leonardo da Vinci, Galileo, Einstein, and others—were also musicians. Music cultivates creativity, discipline and imagination, qualities that enrich every field of study and strengthen community bonds.” So keep playing! Learn new tunes and arrangements. Share your accomplishments with others. Studies have shown that playing music involves 90% of your brain! Music participation enhances brain health and, no doubt, is good for our souls.
This is always a fully attended, cozy gig at a private home up, the street from the Pacific Ocean!
No one plays perfectly all of the time of course (except Segovia, and he’s gone…), but you can attain a very high level of consistency through proper and plentiful repetition.
